Reds triumph over Jaguares
Brad Thorn’s side picked up a brutal 18-7 win over the Jaguares at Estadio Amalfitani on Sunday.
Young flyhalf James Tuttle opened the scoring with a penalty in the third minute, but the home side replied with a Bautista Delguy try just four minutes later to take a 7-3 lead.
Reds hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa picked up his first try of the season off the back of a rolling maul from a lineout. Another Tuttle penalty pushed the lead out to four points.
Jaguares midfielder Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias was denied a try two minutes after the half time hooter after the TMO ruled he knocked on over the try line.
Shortly after the break, diminutive Reds wing Filipo Daugunu scored his maiden Super Rugby try to put his side ahead by two scores 18-7, a lead that proved insurmountable as the Jaguares suffered through a scoreless second half.
The home side proved to be their own worst enemy, coming painstakingly close to the try line on multiple occasions only to concede a turnover or succumb to a handling error. The Jaguares conceded 26 turnovers in total.
The Jaguares will host the Lions next week, while the Reds travel to South Africa to take on the Stormers at Newlands.
